I might as well start practicing that ROM building project. It'll be harder than I expected, since it's not my Galaxy Nexus but... screw this, my Xoom needs life.

Also, it's a developer preview. It's so developers can build apps for the OS's release in 2014. It isn't a ROM or even a consumer preview.

It took me a while to understand how the imei system woks but i think i have the gist of it now. i don't know if this works for other models but it must considering i took information from a multitude of sources to work out a solution here's what I did

Before starting this tricky set of commands please make sure your phone has the following settings:

ROOTED

HAS BUSYBOX INSTALLED

HAS EITHER ROOTEXPLORER OR ADB

YOUR PC HAS A PROPER UNIX TEXT EDITOR (NOTEPAD++ OR JEDIT)

Ensure you have one good copy of nv_data.bin somewhere on the phone. it could be located in either /efs or /data/radio

Ensure you have a nv.log with at least one line that looks somewhat like this:

MD5 fail. orignal md5 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' computed md5 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' (rild)

where the X's are a bunch of number and letters.

Copy the good nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and nv.log to both the sdcard and then via usb put them on your hard drive in a folder called efsbackup

(use either rootexpoler or adb shell to copy the files to the sdcard first)

Open the nv.log and look for the second sting of lines. after the words computed md5 (the first string is the md5 the phone found and the second string is the md5 it was expecting for. if the md5 it was expecting can't be found, it uses the default IMEI 004999010640000

Open nv_data.bin.m5d with a proper unix text editor (I suggest Notepad++ or jedit) and remove the sting of numbers and letters and replace it with the string from the nv.log (the second string after computed md5) and save the file

Go back to the phone and put the phone into Airplane Mode (this turns off the radio)

Copy the files nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.m5d back to the sdcard overwirting them

Using either rootexplorer or adb shell copy the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 back to the original folder (either /efs or /data/radio (for me it was /data/radio that did the trick))

Using either rootexplorer or adb shell ensure both files have the following attributes Owner:radio Group:radio Owner:RWX Group:R Other:R

Using adb shell type ps (this lists all the running processes) find the one that end with rild and remember the pid

Using adb shell type kill pid# where pid# is the rild process (this restarts the radio)

Go back to the phone and take the phone out of Airplane mode

Reboot the phone

Open up the dialer and dial *#06# (the universal way to get your IMEI it SHOULD be equal to the one written under the battery):good:

If you have any problems please list them below and i will do my best to solve them

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan_hines:
If your nv.log ends with backup NV restored.(GED) that is good it mean even though the m5d didn't mach the expected md5 hash it still restored the proper IMEI. If however your nv.log end in default NV restored that is a sure indication that the default IMEI i.e 004999901064000 is in use.

With my Nexus S even though my EFS partition is corrupt I was able to restore the proper IMEI from the /data/radio partition. I suspect every Samsung model stores its NV data (i.e the IMEI and Blue Tooth Data) in different places. I have noticed if I try to flash a custom rom like CM10 over a stock rom 4.1.2 JZ054K that is when I loose my NV data.

004999010640000 IMEI on my Samsung N7100

Hi

I downgraded my phone to a previous stock samsung rom via odin, due to battery back up issue and I got this generic IMEI. I had previously used the same rom to downgrade and it all went well(unfortunately it got updated back then :silly: , so I had to downgrade again ). This time it gave me a generic IMEI 004999010640000 and I'm in a fix :confused: . My phone has been never ever rooted. I googled and somewhere, it was a mentioned that efs folder should be deleted and then a reboot would do the trick. Don't know how right that was, but I couldn't delete/move/rename the efs folder. Secondly, it shows 0 bytes and is empty.

Pls help me. Thanks in advance!

Hi folks,

Just a couple of observations. As I mentioned I have an Nexus S (i9020a) aka Crespo. I can't promise you that my advice will work on other models. Second, I noticed someone asking what can I do if I don't have any backup of NVDATA.BIN or NVDATA.BAK? I am sorry to say there is but one fix: JTAG aka send it in for repair. What they do is painstakingly physically connect wires to the phones Non-volitle (hense the word NVDATA) ram and flash the chip to its factory defaults. Here is a video to show how it's done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecp8jKmm48k Other people were asking Can I use someone elses phone to fix mine. The short ansewer is NO. Your phone's IMEI is unique to your phone. Using someone elses IMEI info is illegal and will end up banning that IMEI off the phones network for good. So just don't do it.

Lastly, I don't pretend to have all the answers so if anyone is better experienced with Generic IMEI problems please do not hesitate to share your wisdom.

Thanks Again.

I tried it again, using the new computed MD5 value.

The nv.log now shows original MD5 xxxxxxxxxxxx computed MD5 yyyyyyyyyyyy

next md5 failed line shows original MD5 yyyyyyyyyyyy computed MD5 xxxxxxxxxxxx

Result: still displayed the generic IMEI.

I found a .IMEI file that has the generic IMEI and I editted it to reflect the correct.

I also found an /efs/IMEI but there was nothing in the IMEI folder.

Result: still displayed the generic IMEI

I flask to stock KK4 GB ROM with KK4 modem.

Result: still generic IMEI

I was able to find a nv_data.bin that was backed up prior to any changes being made to the original 2.1 stock rom.

I restored to /efs both by allowing the device to create it's a new MD5 file as well as trying to upload a modified md5 file following these instructions.

Result: Still reporting the generic IMEI

This was a device I owned and purchased from AT&T (refurbed). Had not noticed the IMEI changed. It had been sitting in a drawer for a couple of years.

I borked my EMEI on my Nexus S installing a ROM, but I was getting [null] EMEI not generic. The tips in this thread didn't help me at all, what ended up working for me (after trying everything) to restore my EMEI was using Nexus Root Toolkit (by wugfresh, google it I can't post links) to restore factory image.

Once in the software, with your drivers installed, do a Back to Stock flash, following the prompts as they apply to your phone. Once you're back to factory your EMEI should be restored and you can root and flash etc what you want from there.

hi,

hi,

short version: my imei got replaced with dummy imei after new flash from cm 9 to slimkat 4.4.2 with i9000 sgs s1. tried to copy my backup folder for efs but it doesn't stay after reboot. same for permissions, but the network works, and in nv log i don't have an compute and phone imei i have other stuff nothing about imei generated or expected.

longer version

i've first backed up the folder with an app EFS Backup Tool, which automatically copied the files from root/efs to sdcard and i copy all that on pc.

then i proceed to flash slimkat 4.4.2 for i9000(locked in vodafone romania if that counts) phone restarts properly all stuff starts, but a get a warrning popup that imei is corrupted and it may cause problems including calling emergency.

i do have carrier, can call/sms, use 3g, i have baseband version, all i don't have is proper imei. instead i see dummy imei sv 01.

i used x-plorer with root access and settings modified to best permissions(modify read only) the efs set to rw-r-r or rwe-r-r radio 1001 owner and group, but after restart permission reset to rwe-rwe, tried restart with cache wipe and w/o.

tried the guide for efs not saving after restart still not working. please help. also having a bad imei with network connection working is that bad or problematic? can i get banned locked from my carrier later or called by the police? can i just keep dummy imei if i have working phone and network and gapps.

thanks in advance.
